Sprinkler Guards

Sprinkler guards are required for damage-prone fire sprinklers.

Physical damage to a fire sprinkler head is the most common reason for a fire sprinkler to unnecessarily discharge.

No amount of physical protection can stop all unintentional discharges, but adding a fire sprinkler head guard to a pendent, upright, or horizontal sidewall sprinkler can provide a critical layer of protection.

Fire sprinkler head guards stop flooding by protecting delicate components.

Automatic fire sprinklers feature small, fragile parts that allow water to release when surrounding temperatures rise.

Even small impacts can lead to expensive cleanups.  Schools, hotels, shopping centres and other places flooded by unwanted fire sprinkler discharge have paid thousand even tens of thousands of pounds to repair this damage.

Most of the time, these incidents would have been avoided if the fire sprinkler head had a guard to protect it.  These guards (sometimes known as sprinkler cages) use steel wire to put a protective barrier around the sprinkler head.

The guards clamp around the base of the sprinkler frame, thus providing an inch or more of protective metal wiring around the sprinkler head.

Breaking a sprinkler head is no small matter.  For contractors looking to avoid a major headache, head guards are an investment that cannot be beaten.
